I mean looking at it from a purely weapons standpoint, what is left to EQUIP them? Transport them? Not to mention their trainers are dead, and who is going to lead them? A lot of their officers (especially junior level) are also dead.
It just sounds like they're merely delaying the inevitable.
Russian society won't accept another mobilization. Not in sense of raising against Monke but hiding in houses, killing more Commissars, escaping to other countries even more than before.
Even fricking prisoners don't want to go and have to be beaten into agreement
Russia's prisons have figured out going to Ukraine is pretty much a death sentence. That pool of manpower is drying up.
>Russian society won't accept another mobilization
It will. For Russia, this war is the last existential conflict to ensure its security and status. Read Zeihan, he and his Stratfor fellow predicted this war 15 years ago.
>Russian society won't accept another mobilization
Lol.
They would gladly sit in their crummy khrushchovkas until praporschik comes for them, and they they will mumble something among the lines "uh, well, can't do anything about it" and go die for their tsar
Geopolitics is always relevant but politically, Putinism could fall, seems like the Oligarchs are having their foundations threatened.
We're talking serious enough shit now that Geopolitics can be set aside for events. Zeihans was just waying events always comply to Geopolitical reality and you can always make broad calls.
Obviously the strategy would be to push it out of the Geopolitical question, and welp it looks like this strategy is having an effect. That's Clauswitcz I guess, did not read.
Is that rat a large species, or just a freak mutant?
It's a newborn. It was caught before it could grow up into a hedgefund manager.
>hedgefund manager
Oh, I thought that was Crimean.
The picture is named baltimore_rat
Yeah, my bad.
Did the last moobilization even met the quota?
Russia is a right-wing society. Right-wingers are incapable of acknowledging any truth about themselves.
unlike the most enlightened and infallible left wing, of course. Famous for their self-awareness and unbiased analysis of past mistakes.
No.
Did the first mobilization solve their problems? Why would a second one?
If we look at kyiv independent numbers which are biased to the extreme they state around 100k Russian losses, while they are alot they are still less than what Ukraine got, more than 100k by own EU leader admission but realistically way more than that, Ukraine have 1 third of Russian population and can have less soldiers obviously, without even talking about weapons which are all done and they just hope in new Nato donations which wont be that helpfull anyway cause they cant fill the entire Ukraine military needs.
Its ok to be a fan of one side or another but being autistic is just desperate, this is not a football match ffs, its like claiming France won the world cup in your heart but the cup went to Argentina
The frick are you even talking about?
last weeks narrative about gorillion lost soldiers. this bot didn't get the memo that it's all about soledar this week.
>more than 100k by own EU leader admission
Why do you braindead vatBlack folk always try to keep repeating this old lie? Get some new material already.
ukraine is fricking defeated and these dipshit nafo threads are beyond pathetic anymore
>Ukraine is fricking defeated
You captured a tiny-ass MINING TOWN, so Wagner can get a bit richer.
It will "fix" Russia.
Not really but it will delay the inevitable. From what I heard from ukiesy they can do next mobilization wave and another one but then it will be truly irredeemably over for Russia.
The Russian elite are delaying the inevitable at this point. It's them vs the West, and the West is supporting Ukraine. If Russia backs down now, Putin either goes to Nurenburg or get killed off by his own people because giving up isn't politically viable for him. If he keeps going, he keeps living. He's painted himself (and Russia) into a corner pretty badly where the longer Russia fights, the longer he lives. He can keep going and try to de-escalate with some sort of "win" to present to his people, but against Ukraine with the backing of the West, he's really Sisyphus on an icy hill.
>It just sounds like they're merely delaying the inevitable.
yes, the bottleneck for both ukraine and russia is materiel, not manpower
but buying time is the current russian strategy, their only option as of now is to hope that something on the level of kung-flu pandemic happens and the military support for ukraine dries up
